Arteta self-isolated in a room and a bathroom for two or three days but his wife fell ill shortly afterwards.

“I am a very positive person and I try to take the moment to say OK, what can we take from this?” he said.

“I haven’t had the opportunity to wake up with my kids and dedicate my time and listen to them.

“We are in the household together and we are really enjoying those moments as well.”

Meanwhile, David Moyes is out of the self-isolation he entered as a result of embracing Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta before and after the Premier League meeting between his West Ham side and the Gunners.

Moyes had shown no coronavirus symptoms and the recommended seven-day period of quarantine since his contact with Arteta has now passed.
